  1. Rem Wind –

    Great product, I only wish I could use midi (or atleast assign midi) to trigger the output & that the output chords actually recorded midi. Right now the only way to use it is to click and play it with the mouse and record it with a resample track.

  2. Darren E Cowley (Admin) –

    You would have to use a separate track to record the MIDI from any MaxforLive device as their effect always happens after the Piano Roll. Some devices have the option to write the notes to a clip upon a click but not for this budget device I’m afraid.

  3. Heike Scherlie –

    As a guitar player I really love how easy this device makes translating guitar chord voicing over to midi. I’ve ended up getting way more use out of it than I originally thought I would’ve. Using it conjunction with Udo R. Brauna’s Step Arpeggiator also makes it very easy to emulate more complex guitar picking patterns. The one downside is that it only has 8 chord slots, but you can easily circumvent that by putting a second instance in a parallel midi chain and then adjust what notes trigger the chords on the second instance.

STRUM ROLL FEATURES

Using the guitar fretboard GUI, you can easily click to insert a note for each string.

Clicking the arrow buttons on the right will then play the chord, either up or down the strings.

Using the Strum Time setting at the top will set the time delay between each string being played in the chord. 

There are also parameters for Tuning, Octave, Randomize Velocity, Note display and MIDI notes to trigger the down and up stroke of the chord.

Select from a number of different popular guitar tunings.

Randomize Velocity will insert a random variation in the velocity level of the notes each time the chord is played.

Click Note Display to show the notes on the circles for the notes you have set up.

In order to easily sequence the chord playback, set up the midi notes for the chord strokes. Then you can create a midi clip and use those notes to play the chord.

You can also lower the note length of the midi notes so that the chord doesn’t have time to play all the notes of the chord, to get more variation and articulation of strumming patterns.

 

Strum Roll is brought to you by the developer behind Tremulant!
